• How you dress affects ur mind, Wearing clothing that are neat or/and structured can trick your brain into feeling more confident , capable and focused , dressing better can also release dopamine which can lift a bad mode this is called enclothed cognition
• Halo effect
As many of you may know the halo effect is a bias where our impression of a person influences how we perceive their unrelated traits.
Humans make quick judgements about a person's intelligence competence and other assumptions in a few seconds after meeting them entirely on visual cues.
Dressing well allows u to control those judgements and assumptions. Clean, stylish clothings signals respect for yourself and the people you are meeting which opens doors.
Dressing better can also increase your perceived leadership capability.People are more likely to listen to instructions or follow advice from people who appear neat and confident.

60-30-10 Colour rule
°60% Base:Your primary neutral colour. Usually ur pants and/or outerwear.
Stick to Black , Charcoal grey , Olive green , Chocolate brown.
°30% Secondary: Your shirt , hoodie or something underneath. Creates contrast.
°10% Accent:A minimal pop of colour or texture. Usually an accessory such as a beanie/watch or your shoes.
Simple things that work for lazy dudes
Example 1: Simple grey look
60% Base: Black jeans and a black jacket
30% Secondary: A plain grey T-shirt or hoodie underneath
10% Accent: All white sneakers
Example 2: Earth tone look
60% Base: Dark brown cargo pants
30% Secondary: Cream or Off-white T-shirt
10% Accent: An Olive green beanie or Green details on shoes
Example 3: Classic Blue & White
60% Base: Dark Blue(Navy) Jeans
30% Secondary:Plain white T shirt
10% Accent: Black belt and black shoes
The Third Piece Rule
Basic outfit (Two pieces): U put on a t-shirt (Piece 1) and Jeans (Piece 2) Its fine but it's plain
Styled Outfit(Three pieces) U keep the t shirt and jeans, but you add a zip up hoodie or an unbuttoned flannel shirt
That extra layer adds depth and makes it look like u put effort in how u dress
How to mix loud and quiet colours
Warm colours (High weight): Reds, Oranges, Yellows etc
These colours are physically attention grabbing and the immediate attention point of ur outfit
Cool Colours(Low weight):Blues, greens, greys and black
these colours on the other hand blend into the background and is calming to look at perfect for a base.
Rule of balance: if your using a high weight colour keep it to your secondary or accent if ur entire outfit is high weight colours the human eye gets overwhelmed.
Neighbouring Colours
System 1: Low contrast High cohesion
Choose colours that are sitting right next to eachother on the colour wheel
Example: Olive green trousers ,muted mustard yellow t shirt and a chocolate brown jacket
System 2: Maximum contrast
Choose colours that are opposite of eachother on the colour wheel
Opposites create the highest visual tensions bc they vibrate against each other
Example: An unbuttoned olive green overshirt worn over a black t shirt with black jeans and a dark crimson beanie or red details on shoes
System 3: Monochromatic (Zero colour contrast High texture)
Choose only one colour family but u vary the value(how light or dark it is + the saturation(how intense or faded it is
Example: black denim , charcoal grey t shirt and a light heather grey overshirt

It's kinda shit because I wrote this with no sleep and I didn't go too in depth because I was tired I'll probably try to go more in depth in a new thread or update this one later you should try to post a thread first even if it's bad to understand how it works.
